SCHOOL IS OUT AND SUMMER IS IN!! We’re looking forward to a fantastic summer, and as is our tradition, we’ll kick it off with our June/July issue of Tangi Lifestyles featuring the Tangipahoa Parish Chamber of Commerce’s Annie Awards’ recipients. In this issue, we also feature inspiring stories of successful multi-generational local businesses, a great article on foster parenting, the local Girl Scouts’ rejuvenation efforts, fun Father’s Day memories, and more. Each issue of Tangi Lifestyles is just a small sample of the great things here in Tangipahoa. Thank you for joining us as we appreciate and celebrate the place we all choose to call home!

As we ease into summertime, please remember it is often a slower time for local businesses. With many folks traveling for vacation or to visit family, our local businesses miss your business. Remember to shop and eat locally whenever you can this summer. Amazon is easy, but local businesses keep our community vibrant. Northshore Media Group will always use our platforms to support local everything. Please promote local with us.

Finally, it’s hurricane season. None of us want a storm, but should one be served to us, know that our Northshore Media Group radio stations are the only broadcast media dedicated to our area. We dedicate 3 of our 13 stations to cover Tangipahoa – KAJUN 107.1, TANGI 96.5 and BOSS 103.7fm/1400am. In the crucial 48-72 hours after an extreme weather event, electricity, cell phones, and internet are typically inoperable. Our radio stations have backup power and provide constant live updates on resources and recovery efforts here at home. We encourage everyone to have a battery or hand-crank radio for their hurricane preparedness kit (make sure you have good batteries). We have served the residents of Tangipahoa and the surrounding parishes for decades and are proud to continue that legacy. Thank you for your support.

“Whether you're building your first home or your forever home, if you have a dream ..."

Let's Make It Happen!

In the realm of home financing, few endeavors are as intricate as constructing a new residence. However, when it comes to construction home lending, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust’s expertise shines through, offering borrowers a professional and supportive experience from start to finish. Whether it’s a firsttime homebuyer or an experienced real estate investor, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust offers borrowers various options, including construction-to-permanent loans, single-closing construction loans, and more.

One of the key factors that sets Gulf Coast Bank & Trust apart is its leadership. Bankers are encouraged to do the right thing for the customer, every time, all the time. Hart Bordelon and his dedicated and knowledgeable team have earned a reputation for helping to find financial solutions for their customers. “Our team is well equipped to guide

clients through every stage of the process. From navigating complex paperwork to providing valuable insights into local market trends, our personalized support ensures that borrowers feel confident and informed every step of the way,” said Bordelon.

"Construction projects can be complex, unpredictable, and often face unexpected challenges. We work with our clients to do our best to mitigate these challenges. We understand the importance of communication, trust, and collaboration to ensure successful loan disbursement and construction completion,” Bordelon explained.

Certified Mortgage Advisors Amanda Germany and Hillory Hracek are the center of Gulf Coast Bank & Trust’s construction lending team in Hammond. “They are responsive, accessible, and proactive in addressing borrowers' concerns and providing guidance throughout the entire construction process,” said Bordelon.

Gulf Coast Bank & Trust prioritizes flexibility, recognizing that every borrower’s situation is unique. "We understand that the same mortgage structure will not fit every client,” said Hracek. "We're passionate about making the dream of building your own home a reality, even for those who may think it's out of reach. Often, people

are unsure where to begin, and that's where our expertise comes in. We're dedicated to educating and informing clients. Together, we navigate the process smoothly," shared Germany.

“We are the proud 2024 winner of the Tangi Lifestyle Readers Choice for best bank, best banker, and best mortgage lender. One reason for receiving this honor is that our team is committed to the community, supporting great nonprofits that help to make Hammond a better place to work and live. Our annual Auctions in August fundraiser has raised nearly 1.5 million dollars for hundreds of nonprofits since its inception in 2008. Our employees wearing their ‘We believe in our community’ orange shirts can be seen volunteering at school fairs, local festivals, and other fundraisers throughout the Hammond area,” Bordelon proudly said.

Micheal “Mikey” Doucet has a gentle, measured voice when he talks about the trauma and neglect he experienced as a foster child who literally got “lo the system” designed to protect some of society’s most vulnerable youth. His interviews and social media postings depict his journey from a lost and broken eight-year-old to a thoughtful, introspective man determined to help fix a broken system.

The oldest of four children, Doucet grew up in a dysfunctional home with parents who were too young and illequipped to deal with the rigors of parenting four young children. In a series of deeply personal interviews, Doucet describes a far-too-frequent miasma of neglectful caretakers, abusive adults and the shame that accompanies foster kids adrift in a bureaucratic system.

A CHILDHOOD OF CHAOS

When recalling his past, Mikey admits that due to his dissociation from events that pocked his childhood, his memory is shaky on the particulars. He acknowledges that neither of his parents came from healthy backgrounds and that not all foster parents are bad or ill-intentioned.

Still, his personal experiences as a foster child left few happy memories. The first family initially tried to integrate both Mikey, eight, and his six-year-old brother into their home with their biological children. When that wasn’t a good fit, Doucet was re-homed with other foster parents before eventually being taken in by his grandfather.

A GUARDIANSHIP DISASTER

Doucet recalls loving his grandfather and appreciating his instilling a strong work ethic that allowed the young man to achieve much in his 35 years. But it took a recent reunion with his biological brother to reveal that there were some ugly secrets involving his grandfather.

Because of his work as a former foster kid trying to revamp the system, Doucet and his wife were invited to share the spotlight with Doucet’s biological brother and his family at a recent Savannah Bananas baseball game. The team partners with Bananas Foster, an agency dedicated to celebrating the foster care community and bettering the lives of America’s 440,000 foster children.

The baseball game was the first the two brothers had ever attended together and marked a huge step forward for the reunified siblings.

WAYS TO HELP FOSTER KIDS

Doucet wants to work with state legislators to create a legal framework of supervision for guardians of kids in “the system.” He hopes that will help prevent children from falling through the cracks like he did.

He adds that everyone can help by having conversations and learning the stories of foster children, making sure to include them and treating them like kids from two-parent households.

Mikey invites you to follow his inspirational journey on facebook.com/michael.doucet.9889 or on Instagram.

Later in life he discovered that, in the court's view the placement with his grandfather should have been his final destination.

Unfortunately, as an adolescent Doucet found himself “farmed out” to other families, which eventually left the teen homeless and couch-surfing at friends’ homes. Throughout this time he thought he was still in the foster care system, just that the funding and resources had changed. Later, he would come to realize that he had fallen through the cracks of a broken system.

- Mike Brandner

The Chief Judge of the 21st Judicial District Court (JDC), the Honorable Blair Edwards, presides over Division I, which is an exclusively juvenile jurisdiction. During a recent sit-down with Tangi Lifestyles, she shared some of the progress and challenges in serving the children and families involved in the Juvenile Justice System.

Judge Edwards and her dedicated staff work out of their new facility located at 801 South First Street in Amite. Prior to her years on the bench, Edwards spent time representing juveniles navigating the court system. She saw firsthand how problems stemming from poverty and lack of guidance can snowball into truancy issues, substance abuse, and criminal behaviors.

By building an infrastructure of support systems, Judge Edwards hopes to alleviate some of the issues that bring juveniles and their families to her Division I courtroom.

Build It and They Will Come

Judge Edwards turned the new facility into a haven of help for these kids and also their families and guardians. Trauma is cyclical in families, and children repeat what they experience, including neglect and abuse.

Judge Edwards and staff members like Lieutenant Timothy “Danny” Sharkey and Henrietta Palmisano are trained in addressing trauma. She has also spent years in neuroscience studies and is a trauma practioner after attending classes in Trust-Based Relational Intervention at TCU. The Judge is also a certified trainer for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). She credits her training for her ability to recognize

She has also begun what her colleagues refer to as “Blair’s Boutique.” The drive to provide for her clients has resulted in storerooms in the facility stocked with life’s basic necessities and a little more.

According to the Judge, kids most often request socks, underwear, soap, and shampoo on their Christmas and birthday lists, and parents often need wardrobe items suitable for job interviews.

Families can also turn to Blair’s Boutique for household necessities. Judge Edwards gave an example of a mother whose refrigerator broke, jeopardizing her ability to keep her kids from foster care placement by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). With the help of community partners, items such as refrigerators can be acquired to fill the need. They accept community donations of items as disparate as tuxedos, prom dresses, and fancy shoes to pots and pans.

A Different Take on Trauma

Simply being “in the system” is traumatic for children and their families. There typically is a precipitating traumatic event (or a series of events) that lands kids and families in the Drug, Truancy, or Juvenile Courts.

Judge Edwards volunteers her time to preside over Drug Court in both Tangipahoa and Livingston Parishes. When asked what drives her to volunteer, she replied, “We have to address substance abuse issues, not only with the children, but with the families which leads us to the trauma that has occured.”

The court and offshoot programs like Families in Need of Services (FINS) can help coordinate resources for families and children

that keep temporary problems from becoming life-altering events. Kids land in truancy court from missed school days. Edwards has learned that there could be a hidden issue such as transportation to medical appointments. By solving the problem, she and her team can end the truancy issue.

A Place to “Reset”

Judge Edwards and her staff also offer a “sensory room” for use by those going through the system, as well as members of the staff and community. The room has been designed to reduce stress by increasing outside stimulation. From the colored lights to the provided weighted blankets and fidget items, the room is a calming atmosphere for all who enter. “Last month we had a couple members of the Acadian Ambulance team experience a fatal accident, and they requested use of the room for a few minutes to decompress after the traumatic incident,” shared Edwards. “That is exactly what we want this room to be. A place of healing.”

Dignity In the Court

Judge Edwards believes people who make mistakes still love their children, and kids need an oasis from harsh conditions. Every 2.5 hours, staff walk around the courtroom handing out water bottles, as hydration eases trauma. There’s often hot food available for kids who cannot leave the courtroom, and the waiting rooms have baskets of granola bars and other snack foods for the children. The waiting areas also offer a steady stream of videos addressing how to cope with trauma in children as an additional resource for the families. While some juveniles’ consequences mean they leave court for the detention center, Judge Edwards’ compassion ensures they first have their needs addressed so they leave with a sense of hope for the future. Although much of what we aim to do is preventative and rehabilitative; juvenile crime has increased and offenses have become increasingly more severe.

We are so fortunate in our district to have the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center. FPJDC is a center for pre-adjudicated juveniles, as well as, post adjudicated (long-term or secure care) juveniles. “I have had a very good working relationship with Director Joey Dominick and the team at FPJDC. If a child has committed an offense where consequences require removing the offender from the community, I prefer to send them to FPJDC,” said Judge Edwards. “I know that while they are at the center, they will be acquiring skills that will help them be successful.”

The Judge operates under the doctrine “For every choice, there must be a consequence,” Although this makes her appear strict, she has never been considered unfair. She believes we have to raise the bar in our expectations. She explained, “If you don’t expect much, you get little. But when I set my expectations high, I usually get more.”

The Root of Tangipahoa Growth

Written by Nick Gagliano

Multi-generational businesses are important to every community and Tangipahoa Parish is blessed with many businesses that are now owned and operated by second and third generation family members.

“People think Economic Development is just about new businesses coming to the parish,” said Tangipahoa Economic Development Director Ginger Cangelosi. “While they are extremely important, it is critical that we work to help our local, multi-generational businesses grow, expand and prosper.”

Cangelosi said that companies like Medline, Intralox and Niagara Water play a large role in bringing good paying jobs to Tangipahoa Parish. She also points out locally-owned businesses make Tangipahoa Parish a unique community, and that plays a large role in attracting larger businesses who are looking for a great quality of life for their employees.

“As our parish seat, Amite has always played an important role in our community. Today, we are honored to highlight a few of our multi-generational businesses.”

The Mulberry Tree

The Mulberry Tree in Amite is another example of a great multigenerational family-owned business.

Bud and Carroll Glasgow opened Thrift-Town Pharmacy in 1969 and built the store where Mike’s Catfish Restaurant is today. There was both a pharmacy and a gift shop in their space. They moved the pharmacy to Tangilena Shopping Center in 1978 and Carroll opened a larger gift shop since there was more space. They then bought a city block across from Hood Memorial Hospital where Bud built a new pharmacy in a strip center. It was then that Carroll moved the Mulberry Tree in a separate space next to Thrift-Town. Before she opened in 1995, local artist Klaudia Durnin became her partner and they opened the Mulberry Tree on Nov. 15, 1995. Four years later, Carroll bought out Klaudia.

“Our roots run deep in Amite, and I am proud to carry on the family legacy of being the local owner of this fantastic shop,” said current owner Kristy Glasgow Berner. “For over 55 years, my family has been helping the Amite community, and I am proud to carry on that tradition.”

During high school and college, Kristy worked in the Mulberry Tree painting children’s gifts, and she soon became more involved in the day-to-day operations.

She bought the store in 2007, and since then, the store has tripled in size.

Like other multi-generational businesses, Kristy has a great mentor in her mom.

“She is just a wealth of information. From etiquette for invitations to going to market to purchasing new products to helping fill-in while I attend my children’s school events, I am truly blessed to have my mom here.”

Kristy also delights in being a business owner in a small town. The Mulberry Tree has always been an active member of the community helping schools and organizations.

“Amite is a great town, and I am proud to be one of many multigenerational families who continue the tradition of serving our area. I know my customers and they know me. Many times, they just call and ask me to choose a gift because they know I know their taste and style.”

Kristy also sees the full circle in her business in her gift registry service. She said she has girls who worked for her then registered for graduation gifts, then wedding gifts, and then for baby gifts.

She also sees a bright future for the Mulberry Tree.

“My daughter has worked here like I did while growing up. She is heading off to college, but she knows she will always have a place at the Mulberry Tree just as my mom did for me.”

Richardson Funeral Home

301 E Mulberry St. • Amite

It was over 60 years ago that Alexander Richardson, Sr. and his wife, Melissa, opened and operated

Richardson Funeral Home, Inc. to serve the funeral and burial needs of the Amite and surrounding community.

“We take pride in helping families during some of the worst and most sorrowful times of their lives,” said Valerie Richardson, Alex and Melissa’s granddaughter. “Without a doubt, we always provide the best and most caring funeral service because we know we have big shoes to fill.”

Richardson Funeral Home, Inc. is located on East Mulberry Street in Amite across from the Tangipahoa Parish Courthouse. The day-to-day operations are handled by Valerie, her brother, Earl Jr., who is known in the community as Scottie, and their first cousin, Alex, when he’s not on duty with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Alex says his whole life has been in and around the funeral home. He learned quite a bit from his grandfather, father, and uncles who all worked in the family business at one time or another.

“We firmly believe in service,” said Alex. “We are honored to be here to help our friends and neighbors, and we will always provide exceptional service setting high expectations for the best funeral accommodations.”

This third generation of Richardsons also carry on the tradition of treating all people the same.

“We never look at the price someone pays,” said Scottie. “Everyone gets our full attention regardless of the price or package they choose. My grandfather and father always treated everyone with dignity and respect, and now, we are the funeral home of choice for so many in our community.”

As a local, multi-generational company in Amite, the Richardsons are involved in the community by participating in back-to-school giveaways, food and gift box donations, and collaborating with area churches and organizations to help the less fortunate in the area. Additionally, the Richardsons have turned over all of their obituaries to the Southeastern Louisiana University Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies as an added bonus so that families they serve can also preserve their family legacy.

“Our family has been blessed, and we want to share our blessings with our community,” said Valerie.

The Richardson Funeral Home, Inc. family is excited about the future. In early summer, they will be opening a location in Hammond to serve the needs of southern Tangipahoa Parish.

“Our grandfather, fathers, and uncles have set a high standard for us,” said Alex. “We will always work to meet their expectations in providing the absolute best funeral service. We want to continue the legacy for our fourth and fifth generation of Richardsons.”

Building on a family legacy, the third generation of Richardson Funeral Home, Inc. are continuing to live the motto of their grandfather:

We Provide just a Little More Than Service, We Care.

When you think of the Girl Scouts, you probably remember the delicious cookies they sell annually. But the organization has experienced many changes since its founding in 1912. Its mission is “to build girls of courage, confidence, and character; who make the world a better place,” and its four pillars are Outdoors, Entrepreneurship, Life Skills and STEM.

Dr. Rebecca Pennington, the CEO of Girl Scouts Louisiana East (GSLE), shared some new developments for the approximately 7,600 Girl Scout members in the 23 parishes of Southeast Louisiana. COVID took its toll on membership numbers. Pennington said that since the pandemic tapered off, they’ve had modest growth of 5% year-over-year for the last three years. However, GSLE has a robust member recruitment plan for next fall when the school year begins that should accelerate growth.

Dr. Rebecca Pennington, CFRE

For the local council, “rightsizing” ensures that the property footprint matches the number of girl members available to serve. This included selling Camp Whispering Pines north of Hammond and upgrading the Council’s two remaining outdoor properties — Camp Marydale in St. Francisville and the Northshore’s Camp Covington.

At camp, Girl Scouts learn to work together outside of urban environments and can participate in the Spur/Wrangler Equestrian Program that’s unavailable to many councils that don’t have ample acreage or own their own horses. Spur/Wrangler Girl Scouts learn to groom and manage horses, and many of the older girls are members of the Wrangler Show Team which competes in rodeos and rides in parades.

The Benefits of Girl Scouts to Young Women

Girl Scouting teaches girls life skills they need to prepare to be future leaders and risk-takers, and to be unafraid to face and solve real-world problems. Their cookie campaigns teach entrepreneurship by giving them the experience of running small businesses and learning techniques to boost sales. Other advantages include budget management and developing financial literacy.

Where Dreams Begin

Girl Scouts of the USA chose GSLE to be one of two pilot councils for a new concept called “DreamLab” in Gonzales. The space opened in September 2023 and consists of interactive areas for girls and doesn’t follow a traditional service center model. It also includes a retail center where Girl Scouts can buy uniforms, camp supplies, and other Girl Scouting gear.

You Can Help with Funding

Pennington achieved this major rebranding through grants from GSUSA. But more funds are needed to maximize the Girl Scouts’ potential. She stressed that both corporate and individual donations are welcome, and larger donations open the door to naming opportunities at both camps.

The council has divided its fundraising efforts into two phases, with the first seeking $5 million to improve the Camp Marydale Equestrian Center, its lake and pool while adding a STEM Center and better river access to Camp Covington. Board member Guy Recotta hosted a function last November to kick off the campaign, dubbed “Leave No Girl Inside ... for Generations to Come.” The funds raised are earmarked to ensure that Southeast Louisiana girls have access to the transformative Girl Scout Outdoor Experience.

The roots of change

Boaters can see wetlands restoration and conservation taking root right here in the Lake Maurepas marshes, thanks to dedicated researchers and students from Southeastern Louisiana University.

Through a partnership with Air Products, Southeastern Louisiana University researchers and their students will be able to plant 2,000 cypress trees every year for three years. This is one of many projects that is a part of Southeastern’s Lake Maurepas Monitoring Project which supports independent biomonitoring research of Lake Maurepas. Researchers will independently monitor the environmental health and safety of the lake during the construction and operation of the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex.

Over the course of many decades as trees have died or been removed, the marshland in the Lake Maurepas area has washed away. Southeastern Research Associate Nicholas Stevens, a wetland ecologist working in Dr. Gary Schaeffer’s lab, said subsidence dates back to the early 1900s when the area was logged and trees were removed. Fewer trees means less marshland.

“There have been a few replantings that have been

done here previously, but none of the replantings have been successful,” Stevens said, noting that the area where the students and researchers are working was planted in the early 2000s, before Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana, with about 44,000 cypress and tupelo trees. Only around 100 out of 44,000 survived from that planting.

In addition, the entire Lake Maurepas area saw environmental change because of the closing of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, which brought saltwater into nearby Lake Pontchartrain and increased the salinity of Lake Maurepas as well. Thanks to the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet’s closing more than 10 years ago, the water is returning to what Stevens says is a more “normal” level of salinity, which means now is a great time to be planting trees in the Lake Maurepas marshlands.

Stevens says, “Having Southeastern students – or even students from local high schools or other groups – participating in tree plantings in Lake Maurepas is a win-win because they gain a connection to a critical wetlands restoration project while helping to preserve the land. Students and groups can learn about the larger issue without having to travel many hours away to difficult-to-reach locations.”

“It’s not the easiest thing to do to bring a group out to do a planting like this because a lot of times you have to travel pretty far or you have to get on a boat

and then travel even further,” Stevens said. “So the fact that this is so close to home where we can essentially take kids off of school buses and bring them out here and educate them, I feel that’s definitely important because like I said, it’s a lot easier to get large groups of students out here and it’s pretty easy to traverse compared to some other locations.”

Even better, the students have a connection to Lake Maurepas and the issue of conservation.

“Those students might live in this area and can come out and go fishing and tell their friends or their family like, ‘Hey, I planted those trees,’” Stevens said.

J. Alton Daniels. He and his sister, Theresa, were raised in Ponchatoula where he attended Saint Joseph’s and Saint Thomas Aquinas (’96). Wesley attended SLU until his father passed away, at which point he stepped into his family business, Branch Real Estate, which his grandmother founded in the 1940s. Wesley and his wife, Brandy, have raised their children, Byron (18) and Isabel (14) in Ponchatoula where he will be sworn in as Mayor in July. Aside from his family, here are Wesley’s 5 favorite things:

Hunting

1 2 3

These days, Wesley exclusively hunts deer and primarily with a bow. He’s willing to hunt wherever the deer are, but prefers his camp in Port Gibson.

Trips With His Wife

While he thoroughly enjoys traveling with his family, each year Wesley and his wife prioritize taking a trip together. The destinations are usually tropical for their marriage-strengthening trips.

Playing on the Farm

At least once per month, Wesley and his family spend a weekend at their 120-acre farm in Port Gibson. Doing tractor work and other chores in nature are enjoyable and a great way to spend wholesome family time.

Porch at the Camp

After a long day of chores on the farm, the porch, which overlooks a very large pond, is Wesley’s quiet place to relax and reflect on all things. The time spent on that porch with his family is time he cherishes.

His Hometown

Wesley loves Ponchatoula, the city that helped raise him. He appreciates how the community rallies around each other in their times of need and in their times of celebration. He loves it so much that he wanted to dedicate his time and talent to lead the city as Mayor!
